E Gadd is also responsible for the entirety of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, because he built the time machine that brought the Shroobs back to the present day in that game. He is obsessed with tampering with forces that should be beyond human control, which does make him villainous in my opinion. I've only played Luigi's Mansion 3, but a lot of his dialogue in that game shows complete disregard for anything but his own research and self-preservation; its comical at first, but gets to be less so the longer it goes on.
That's not what makes the plot screw up. What screws up is that the Shroobs in the past didn't kill Mario, Luigi and other of the baby counterparts to erases them in existence. Makes me wonder why didn't the Shroob invaded in present day, steal the time machine and do that?
The Time Machine didn’t bring back the shroobs to the present it only brought Junior Shrooboid(the first tutorial enemy) and let’s not forget Mario and Luigi took the fake princess peach to the present which meant a few shroobs went to the time portal and went to hiding until they got caught by bowser and got frozen
Wouldn't the shroobs have been able to take over unchallenged without the time machine? The time machine isn't what brought the shroobs there, it's what allowed the bros to fight them.
E. Gadd definitely gave off villain energy in Dark Moon. I can't even summarize the plot of Dark Moon without feeling that way. It's like, "E. Gadd was doing ghost research with a bunch of brainwashed ghost slaves when King Boo destroyed the mind control device, causing the ghosts to break free from mind control. So E. Gadd then turns Luigi's TV into a teleporter and abducts Luigi from his home in order to conscript Luigi into fixing the ghost mind control device." He gives you orders throughout the entire adventure, teleporting you into and out of danger completely at will, and removing most of the tension from the game (compared to, say, Luigi's Mansion 3, where Luigi is in the hotel because he's literally trapped there, and E. Gadd is holed up in the basement). While the King Boo fight in Dark Moon does succeed in adding tension by having King Boo intercept Luigi's trip back to the lab and trap him in the final battle, I still feel like E. Gadd should've been the main villain. And yeah, King Boo kidnapped Mario as well. But Luigi doesn't even find out about that until fairly late in the game. It felt like the Mario kidnapping plot point in Dark Moon was just shoehorned into the plot in order to give Luigi an actual reason to go after King Boo aside from just E. Gadd telling him to.
something feels off about this theory mainly with LM2 as with the Dark Moon being intact, it doesn't come across as mind-control, more as a way to make the ghosts docile and as we see with pets, docile makes them manageable and kind, but still free and then there is Polter Pup he seems to want to be a good buy, but by the breaking off the Dark Moon, he seems to do actions he regrets after it is healed + he stays with Luigi in LM3, still being a good boy
Polterpup is the strongest ghost in evershade valley. The only ghost to not be fully corrupted by the Dark Moon and has to be captured 3 times before is fully caught, like the possessors and King Boo. and I bet Polterpup was actually helping Luigi the entire time, but wanted to make sure he was ready. Why else would he dig out a gem in Gloomy Manor, snag the key as a way to test Luigi out. Steal the Hour Hand from 3 Greenies so Luigi could deal with each of these stronger Greenies separately. and then in Treacherous Mansion, Ambushed Luigi before he can be Ambushed by King Boo. (because if you recall, and look through the Windows after Polterpup takes the Front Door Key, King Boo is right there capturing the 2 Toads. Had Luigi walked in on King Boo, he would have been captured. Polterpup has helped Luigi multiple times. AND he revives Luigi for the price of 1 gold bone.
Morty didn’t work for King Boo either. He is the nicest ghost apart from Polterpup. Morty is actually nice. He didn’t take the button to stop Luigi. He just liked its sparkle. “Even the sparkle from this beautiful button is now a dull hue”. - Morty
Well this question depends on how you look at it if you look at it from Luigi’s side yes King boo is villain but if you look at it from King boo’s side then yea he has his reasons
I can't vision E Gadd as a villain in 2nd and 3rd but the 1st one he clearly could be because boss ghost is just minding their own business and got sucked up and prisoned in portraits all thanks to him and took their after lives away. Or he got freaked out and didn't calm down and think before act.
Here's my interpretation, which is much more nuanced and interesting. E. Gadd isn't a bad guy. But he isn't a good guy either. He's morally grey. He doesn't care about good or bad, he only cares about his research and experiments. My theory for Luigi's Mansion 1 is that King Boo isn't the one who trapped Mario. It's hard to say, but it seems that he was stuck under the trap door just like all the other Boos until Luigi freed them. It's his first appearance of the game after all. But if that's the case, he couldn't have trapped Mario inside the painting. So I think that E. Gadd is actually the one who trapped Mario in the painting, using his machine. Maybe Mario is the one who trapped the Boos under the trap door a long time ago, which is why King Boo hates him. And Mario knew it was wrong to trap the portrait ghosts in paintings, so he freed them all. But he eventually got pushed into the machine by E. Gadd as they clashed. And when you think about it, E. Gadd was inside the mansion when we first meet him. What was he doing there ? Hiding Mario's painting deep within the mansion, only for King Boo to find it later on and jump on the opportunity ? As for Luigi, well E. Gadd manipulates him, lies to him about the nature of the portrait ghosts and about who trapped Mario in the painting, and the rest is history. But he isn't fully bad since King Boo is bad too, and he helps Luigi defeat him with his inventions. As for Sunshine, once again he doesn't care for good or bad, only his experiments. He gave the brush to Junior and F.L.U.D.D. to the Piantas, creating a problem and its solution, to fulfill his curiosity and see how things would turn out. But also E. Gadd fully helps in Mario and Luigi Partners in Time. He does nothing bad here. But he doesn't do it out of the goodness of his heart. He does it for survival. Heck, it's technically his fault that the Shroobs might have invaded the present. He didn't care about the risks, only about his creation. But he still helps save the world. Basically E. Gadd isn't purely evil. He's on the side that allows him to experiment as he wishes. If he needs to help save the world, he will. But if his next experiment is morally questionable, he won't care either. And I think that this interpretation is much more interesting than him just being evil.
Honestly, that all sounds pretty evil to me. He may not "care" about good or evil per say, but that kind of thinking is essentially evil in itself. Many villains say things along the lines of, "there is no good and evil, only (power, survival, etc.)" as an excuse for their clearly evil deeds, and this seems to be the category that E Gadd falls into.
@@Okeana_AsterLuigi might disagree, he is clearly using Luigi to do his dirty work. E gadd always has him do everything for him seemingly enjoying putting Luigi in immanent danger. His line in Luigi’s mansion 2 says it all. Quote “and after all of this Luigi, you’ll step out of your brother’s shadow and be recognized as a true hero, he he” laughing under his breath as he manipulates poor Luigi. Remember his first instinct in Luigi’s mansion 3 was to run away and leave Luigi’s friends and family only agreeing to enslave more ghosts. He also mistreats toads by calling them dumb and sending them on dangerous missions for his own benefit. E gadd may help the good guys on most occasions but deep down he’s the mushroom kingdom’s biggest threat waiting in the shadows to betray Luigi and his friends.
@@kraxonkooper that’s why I still believe that king boo trapped him in the painting obviously he bought the mansion to capture Mario and Luigi. He must’ve planned revenge on e gadd for enslaving the ghost and the Mario brothers because of the threat boo gives Mario in 64 DS about sticking him in a painting. Unfortunately the Mario brothers got involved in a feud between e gadd and king boo. After that every time king boo frees the ghost he calls Luigi to do his dirty work.
The dark moon doesn’t control the ghosts in evershade valley it has a pacifying effect that keeps the ghosts calm and nice/helpful but when it gets broken that’s when they become evil and do whatever the boos tell them to do
King Boo is a villain but he isn't one in the first game. In the first game, Egad is the villain and Luigi is just the helpless victim. King Boo in Dark Moon wants revenge on Egad and then later on after Luigi defeats him, he decides to get full on revenge on Luigi once and for all.
I think Luigi’s mansion 2 is bit more nuanced since the ghosts aren’t really good guys when not under the control of the dark moon. They are hostile and not even nice to each other at times (best example the red ghost putting the green in his mouth). And they almost destroy the universe at the end of the game. Now it’s possible king boo maybe is controlling them yes but at the same time we see them acting this way after Luigi defeats King boo too. Also to Egads defense in that game he does express the concern about the ghosts leaving evershade valley and attacking people. Like it’s clearly best that they are under the dark moons influence. One side thing too I find interesting is the ghost in LM3 who is nice to Luigi you actually can spare. There are ghosts in the OG as well you can spare which is interesting. Maybe this is more of a defense for Luigi. Most of the ghosts you have to capture because they are holding keys from Luigi keeping him from being able to move forward. The first game literally could have ended fast if he was just given access to the final room from the beginning. Just a thought.
E Gadd is the biggest villian of all... he does things for money. Like, in mario Sunshine, bowser junior has that brush that was made from E Gadd He probably didn't even care who was buying, for him, money is money
I thought Professor E. Gadd redeemed himself in the first game... I hope the movie adaption - if in production - makes him better... and cast Alex Hirsch as King Boo
I've yet to see a single belief system in the world that treats using the souls of the dead as slaves or tools as morally neutral or good. All mythologies and belief systems that came up with or used the concept of souls find it morally condemnable.
What I mean is that Hades would be angry at E Gadd for trapping these “poor unfortunate souls” in paintings, keeping them from getting to (or back to) the underworld for the afterlife they deserve. There would be a special punishment, just for him.
I just played Luigi's mansion 3 (my first Luigi's Manison game), and I purposely didn't capture Morty. I got why I had to capture all the characters that were trying to kill my, but when there was the option to capture the guy who only asked me to star in his movie, I questioned the heroism in doing that. I appreciate this video as it sheds a light on that
@chriskagamine358:I think capturing Morty or not capturing Morty all of that depends on Morty’s reasons for asking us to star in his movie like was he actually trying to do something nice or was he just trying to find an easier way to try and kill us off by asking us to star in his movie.
@@Megz1794 I don't think it was either. I think he was depressed about not having good talent, and then he had good talent. He's hardly selfless, but that just feels like kicking a guy when he's down
@@chriskagamine358:I know iam just saying we don’t know why he asked us to be in his movie since he just randomly asks us so people can make any reason for why he asked us to be in his movie and then to decide whether or not to capture him depending on the reason. Since he’s a newer ghost for Luigi’s Mansion because of Luigi’s mansion 3 being the most recent Luigi’s Mansion game. Iam basically saying the reasoning for him asking us can left open to be interpreted in any way people want since he doesn’t give us a reason why for why he asked us to be in his movie.
@ aaaahhh makes sense So, just as I assume his reasoning is innocuous and so I don’t want to vacuum him, someone else may see his intent as evil and want ti vacuum him
@@chriskagamine358 :exactly. it might be hard to tell if he’s being genuinely nice or if he’s being evil since he’s newer and we don’t know very much about him other than that he’s somehow a ghost who needs a main star for his movie for whatever reason. People can basically go either way with him since there’s 2 options in the end capturing him or not capturing him. A lot of the ghosts kind of aren’t focused on all that much Morty being one of the ghosts that isn’t focused on very much since we don’t know who’s working for Helen gravely and who’s not just like in game 2 how it’s kind of hard to tell which ghosts are nice and which ones are evil since all the ghosts in game 2 go hostile on us. In game 3 it’s hard to tell who’s being actually nice and who’s not but at the same time with Morty people make up their stories about Morty’s intentions in the game
7:00 This theory fell apart here. Why? Game heavily indicates that the Dark Moon has been there since before E. Gadd came to the valley. In fact, he even says that he setup his lab there because the Dark Moon makes Ghosts more passive and he saw this as an opportunity to study them in a much more safe environment.
I pretty sure that E Gadd sore the dark moon and then were non hostile ghosts and go's on to study them in thier home environment which is what I heard on luigi's mansion 2 dark moon
He has kind of a disregard for how the king boo was handled after Luigi’s mansion 1 and that point forward he is able to give upgrades for money which could be the whole incentive to kind of keep giving king boo a chance to escape and furthering his research by getting it field tested and more money to develop his technology
egag is the villain but Luigi is caught up, also i hope if there is a 4th game, they show the more evil of him and meaby all of the bosses return and new one's to got egag
my short answer is yes. though i feel luigi might be a villain by proxy rather than by his conscience since he's told mario is missing. curious about your take!
dark moon is a gemlike purple thing that controls ghosts what does king boo wear: a purple gemlike thing in a crown. just think about it cause we all already knew egad was evil since 2022 edit; also his eyes are purple like the gem
I don’t feel like Luigi is the villain either. He and King Boo have reasons. But E Gadd HOWEVER, that’s different. Like you explained, he’s basically trapping ghosts. He also is just making excuses for Luigi to catch ghosts just so he can kill the ghosts. So I feel like E Gadd is the only villain, not Luigi. (I know that’s exactly what you said, I’m just agreeing with you)
@Pearlie88:I feel like Egadd was the only villain for a certain amount of time for game one though Since in games 2&3 he’s not exactly villain like in 3 he gets kidnapped and in two The dark moon existed before both Egadd and King Boo plus all the ghosts in game 2 are somehow worth capturing because there’s no option to spare certain ghosts like there is in game 1&3 plus in game 2 Egadd is actually concerned about the ghosts safety hence why he wanted us to put sister Belinda,sister Herlinda and sister Lucinda in the vault. So I feel like someone else who is not Egadd aka Someone we haven’t met yet is the true overall villain of the game also Egadd hasn’t done anything for money in the other 2 games after game 1 so I feel like Egadd was only the villain for game 1 for a certain amount of time since game 2&3’s storyline go in their own direction. Since Egadd is basically redeemed by the ending of game 1. Plus all the ghosts in game 2 somehow end up blocking our pathways to certain entrances. I feel like there’s another person who haven’t met yet who’s not king boo and who’s not Egadd for games 2&3 for the true overall villain of the storyline since Egadd moved his research facility to evershade valley exactly because evershade valley at one point was safe and the ghosts werent all trying to attack everything and Everyone in their paths all at the same time. The only ghosts that mainly didn’t along were probably a slammer and a greenie but other than that I don’t think all ghosts would be attacking everything and everyone in its path like the creepers use to like to cuddle they somehow forgot what cuddling was. Also Egadd doesn’t even sell any of the ghosts we capture for money in game 2 so I don’t think he’s the villain for games 2&3 for game one only for a certain amount of time before he gets redeemed yes but for games 2&3 he’s most likely not because in game the dark moon and other stuff existed before Egadds and King Boo existed. And in game 3 Egadd is one of the kidnapped people that we have to Save. I feel like Helen or someone else is the true overall villain for Luigi’s mansion game wise and we just don’t meet them right away plus King boo somehow keeps trying to kidnap Mario and the toads. He tried to kidnap Luigi and failed. But I feel like someone else is the overall true villain someone who’s not king boo and someone who’s not Egadd and we just don’t know who it is since Egadd himself doesn’t exactly have villainy plotlines after game 1.
His glasses have swirls in them maybe they are mind controlling him it would be awesome if Nintendo made a game about it, and it turns out that he is being mind controlled!
Luigi's Mansion 1, 2 and 3 are GREAT games defienitily Luigi's Mansion 3 what was my first Luigi's Mansion game that I've played it's not only the BEST Luigi's Mansion game, but also one of the BEST Nintendo games of all time! Yeah I know there's Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Remake on Nintendo Switch, is it really worth it to pay a normal price about of only a HD Remake and is it good? It's interesting to hear theories that Polsterpup ghost dog, Prof. Egadd and Luigi himself are the real enemies, but no not even ghosts aren't villains they're really kind, but got the mindcontrol of King Boo and Dark Moon the King Boo and Hellen Gravely are the TRUE Villains of Luigi's Mansion defienitily I like Hellen, her cat and every bosses defienitily Cleopatra in Luigi's Mansion 3! Luigi's catching ghosts in he's vacoom is not right so he could be the true villain with Prof. Egadd no fhey're not. If Luigi's Mansion 4 never happen that I believe is coming for the Nintendo Switch 2 I really hope and would LOVE to see is about Luigi, Mario, Peach, Daisy and Toads are coming to the ship vacation on Daisy's Cruise Ship where King Boo ruins their nice vacation and captures Luigi's friend's once again I really wan't Daisy for Luigi's Mansion game that's just obvious because Daisy is Luigi's girlfriend and she is in Super Mario Bros Wonder so the next Luigi's Mansion game is Luigi's Mansion 4 Nightmare on the Sea! 🌅🚢🌑🌌👻💚
Egad is not evil. King boo kidnapped mario. Lil bro lul wanted to help. Portrait ghosts are payment for getting mario. He made a mansion for luigi or research AND. I WOULD NOT MAKE THIS THEROY CAUSE YOUR GONNA GET CANCELED BY ANGRY FANS. THIS IS A FREAKING TIP. HE IS NOT EVIL.
I think he's just kinda a jerk sometimes that does not think about what he's tampering with. A bit absent minded and overly demanding if Luigi but not evil persay as far as we know all the ghost we're trying to kill him and he releases them after that. The dark moon always seemed like a artifact that has existed forever in evershade otherwise why would he had not used that at the hotel.
Why are you making Professor E Gadd and Luigi look like they're the villains of the Luigi's Mansion series? King Boo is the main antagonist of the series, he's not a good guy, he's a villai, once a villain always a villain.
Exactly like king boo keeps capturing people .also like if king boo ain’t the villain of the storyline then it’s clearly not Egadd since the dark moon was created before Egadd and before king boo existed plus Egadd in game 3 is one the characters we have to end up saving after he gets kidnapped so I highly doubt Egadd is the villain for games 2&3 he might seem a little villainish in game one doing things for money but for games 2&3 he has like no villainy storylines and king boo somehow got free after being captured in game 1 for games2&3 and nobody knows how king boo got free after being captured the first time around
Are the 2 white guys the villains, for colonizing the land of the ghosts and imprisoning them in paintings? Gee I don't t know. Edit: E.gadd is neither good nor evil, everything he does is in pursuit of scientific discovery.
11:34 "Poor Luigi is constantly sucked in to be the accomplice." I see what you did there, lol.

@Seafor-v4l Again. Why didn't the Shroobs in the past killed the baby counterparts? Has the present Mario, Luigi & co know anything about them?
How is there a way he would know that the shroobs we're attacking. He didn't even experience it when he was younger
It's funny, if King Boo stopped kidnapping Mario, Luigi would have 0 stakes in this beef between King Boo and E Gadd
E. Gadd definitely gave off villain energy in Dark Moon. I can't even summarize the plot of Dark Moon without feeling that way. It's like, "E.

I've yet to see a single belief system in the world that treats using the souls of the dead as slaves or tools as morally neutral or good.
All mythologies and belief systems that came up with or used the concept of souls find it morally condemnable.
What I mean is that Hades would be angry at E Gadd for trapping these “poor unfortunate souls” in paintings, keeping them from getting to (or back to) the underworld for the afterlife they deserve. There would be a special punishment, just for him.
Imma head up to his shrine right boe
Hey Landon as you were setting the scene the clouds started setting the scene and it started raining.
I don’t know about Luigi being bad but Professor E gadd is kind of suspicious
I really want to get into the Luigi mansion video game Franchise
The fortune teller in the first game mention she missed her paintings
I just played Luigi's mansion 3 (my first Luigi's Manison game), and I purposely didn't capture Morty. I got why I had to capture all the characters that were trying to kill my, but when there was the option to capture the guy who only asked me to star in his movie, I questioned the heroism in doing that. I appreciate this video as it sheds a light on that
@chriskagamine358:I think capturing Morty or not capturing Morty all of that depends on Morty’s reasons for asking us to star in his movie like was he actually trying to do something nice or was he just trying to find an easier way to try and kill us off by asking us to star in his movie.
@@Megz1794 I don't think it was either. I think he was depressed about not having good talent, and then he had good talent. He's hardly selfless, but that just feels like kicking a guy when he's down
@@chriskagamine358:I know iam just saying we don’t know why he asked us to be in his movie since he just randomly asks us so people can make any reason for why he asked us to be in his movie and then to decide whether or not to capture him depending on the reason. Since he’s a newer ghost for Luigi’s Mansion because of Luigi’s mansion 3 being the most recent Luigi’s Mansion game. Iam basically saying the reasoning for him asking us can left open to be interpreted in any way people want since he doesn’t give us a reason why for why he asked us to be in his movie.
@ aaaahhh makes sense
So, just as I assume his reasoning is innocuous and so I don’t want to vacuum him, someone else may see his intent as evil and want ti vacuum him
@@chriskagamine358 :exactly. it might be hard to tell if he’s being genuinely nice or if he’s being evil since he’s newer and we don’t know very much about him other than that he’s somehow a ghost who needs a main star for his movie for whatever reason. People can basically go either way with him since there’s 2 options in the end capturing him or not capturing him. A lot of the ghosts kind of aren’t focused on all that much Morty being one of the ghosts that isn’t focused on very much since we don’t know who’s working for Helen gravely and who’s not just like in game 2 how it’s kind of hard to tell which ghosts are nice and which ones are evil since all the ghosts in game 2 go hostile on us. In game 3 it’s hard to tell who’s being actually nice and who’s not but at the same time with Morty people make up their stories about Morty’s intentions in the game
The dark moon doesn’t mind control ghosts it makes them passive
Seee the good DR. E gadd be usually these ghost as indentured servants!!!!
Dude definitely evil!!
7:00 This theory fell apart here. Why? Game heavily indicates that the Dark Moon has been there since before E. Gadd came to the valley. In fact, he even says that he setup his lab there because the Dark Moon makes Ghosts more passive and he saw this as an opportunity to study them in a much more safe environment.
It could also be said that king boo started the war because he captured Mario which caused Luigi in a way to go to the mansion to even help e-gadd
Awesome Video Bro!
I pretty sure that E Gadd sore the dark moon and then were non hostile ghosts and go's on to study them in thier home environment which is what I heard on luigi's mansion 2 dark moon
2:25 at the end of the third one he builds them a mansion
Forgot this 4:33
It's.
Ma king boo backwards
He has kind of a disregard for how the king boo was handled after Luigi’s mansion 1 and that point forward he is able to give upgrades for money which could be the whole incentive to kind of keep giving king boo a chance to escape and furthering his research by getting it field tested and more money to develop his technology
egag is the villain but Luigi is caught up, also i hope if there is a 4th game, they show the more evil of him and meaby all of the bosses return and new one's to got egag
Nin10doland, Magneto vs King Boo who would win in a fight ?
How do you know King Boo isn’t also being controlled by the crown?
Luigi? No. Egad? You bet he’s the villan
my short answer is yes. though i feel luigi might be a villain by proxy rather than by his conscience since he's told mario is missing. curious about your take!
Better get that tingle costume ready. No switch 2. Its a switch mario oled bundle😂
What do you mean? Which one is evil? King boo literally destroyed the ghost home In luigi's mansion three
What if the ghosts aren't real ghosts but creatures E Gadd made with the paint brush that came to life
E Gadd is the villain In every Mario Game too
dark moon is a gemlike purple thing that controls ghosts what does king boo wear: a purple gemlike thing in a crown. just think about it cause we all already knew egad was evil since 2022
edit; also his eyes are purple like the gem
What a coincidence cause today I finished Luigi's Mansion 2 HD not 100% but still
E. Gadd always been big bad
I don’t feel like Luigi is the villain either. He and King Boo have reasons. But E Gadd HOWEVER, that’s different. Like you explained, he’s basically trapping ghosts. He also is just making excuses for Luigi to catch ghosts just so he can kill the ghosts. So I feel like E Gadd is the only villain, not Luigi. (I know that’s exactly what you said, I’m just agreeing with you)
@Pearlie88:I feel like Egadd was the only villain for a certain amount of time for game one though Since in games 2&3 he’s not exactly villain like in 3 he gets kidnapped and in two
The dark moon existed before both Egadd and King Boo plus all the ghosts in game 2 are somehow worth capturing because there’s no option to spare certain ghosts like there is in game 1&3 plus in game 2 Egadd is actually concerned about the ghosts safety hence why he wanted us to put sister Belinda,sister Herlinda and sister Lucinda in the vault. So I feel like someone else who is not Egadd aka Someone we haven’t met yet is the true overall villain of the game also Egadd hasn’t done anything for money in the other 2 games after game 1 so I feel like Egadd was only the villain for game 1 for a certain amount of time since game 2&3’s storyline go in their own direction. Since Egadd is basically redeemed by the ending of game 1. Plus all the ghosts in game 2 somehow end up blocking our pathways to certain entrances. I feel like there’s another person who haven’t met yet who’s not king boo and who’s not Egadd for games 2&3 for the true overall villain of the storyline since Egadd moved his research facility to evershade valley exactly because evershade valley at one point was safe and the ghosts werent all trying to attack everything and Everyone in their paths all at the same time. The only ghosts that mainly didn’t along were probably a slammer and a greenie but other than that I don’t think all ghosts would be attacking everything and everyone in its path like the creepers use to like to cuddle they somehow forgot what cuddling was. Also Egadd doesn’t even sell any of the ghosts we capture for money in game 2 so I don’t think he’s the villain for games 2&3 for game one only for a certain amount of time before he gets redeemed yes but for games 2&3 he’s most likely not because in game the dark moon and other stuff existed before Egadds and King Boo existed. And in game 3 Egadd is one of the kidnapped people that we have to Save. I feel like Helen or someone else is the true overall villain for Luigi’s mansion game wise and we just don’t meet them right away plus King boo somehow keeps trying to kidnap Mario and the toads. He tried to kidnap Luigi and failed.
But I feel like someone else is the overall true villain someone who’s not king boo and someone who’s not Egadd and we just don’t know who it is since Egadd himself doesn’t exactly have villainy plotlines after game 1.
What I really want to know is what is the worst part of every Kirby game
no evil evil just indifferent like
I never actually thought of it like that great video
You might think that's a crazy claim. There's many theories about egad being the main villain of Luigi's Mansion
Good video keep it up❤
His glasses have swirls in them maybe they are mind controlling him it would be awesome if Nintendo made a game about it, and it turns out that he is being mind controlled!
Luigi's Mansion 1, 2 and 3 are GREAT games defienitily Luigi's Mansion 3 what was my first Luigi's Mansion game that I've played it's not only the BEST Luigi's Mansion game, but also one of the BEST Nintendo games of all time! Yeah I know there's Luigi's Mansion 2 HD Remake on Nintendo Switch, is it really worth it to pay a normal price about of only a HD Remake and is it good? It's interesting to hear theories that Polsterpup ghost dog, Prof. Egadd and Luigi himself are the real enemies, but no not even ghosts aren't villains they're really kind, but got the mindcontrol of King Boo and Dark Moon the King Boo and Hellen Gravely are the TRUE Villains of Luigi's Mansion defienitily I like Hellen, her cat and every bosses defienitily Cleopatra in Luigi's Mansion 3! Luigi's catching ghosts in he's vacoom is not right so he could be the true villain with Prof. Egadd no fhey're not. If Luigi's Mansion 4 never happen that I believe is coming for the Nintendo Switch 2 I really hope and would LOVE to see is about Luigi, Mario, Peach, Daisy and Toads are coming to the ship vacation on Daisy's Cruise Ship where King Boo ruins their nice vacation and captures Luigi's friend's once again I really wan't Daisy for Luigi's Mansion game that's just obvious because Daisy is Luigi's girlfriend and she is in Super Mario Bros Wonder so the next Luigi's Mansion game is Luigi's Mansion 4 Nightmare on the Sea! 🌅🚢🌑🌌👻💚
Didn’t Game Theory already covered this?
For every person who says I’m begging for likes I will make a orphan
Professor E Gadd isn't the villain of the Luigi's Mansion series, King Boo is the real villain of the series, and don't even bring Luigi into this.
Egad is not evil. King boo kidnapped mario. Lil bro lul wanted to help. Portrait ghosts are payment for getting mario. He made a mansion for luigi or research
AND. I WOULD NOT MAKE THIS THEROY CAUSE YOUR GONNA GET CANCELED BY ANGRY FANS. THIS IS A FREAKING TIP. HE IS NOT EVIL.
Sorry for not watching your videos for a while. Im back
NAh egadd helped ghosts at the last of luigis mansion 3
It's still King Boo.
thank for the pov but that no reason to trap mario ( i do under) but luigi peach toads no just no
the luigis mansion 2 one is wrong i think the ghosts eat eachother. THATS VERY BAD.
hi and NEW LUIGI MANSION VIDEO????
I think he's just kinda a jerk sometimes that does not think about what he's tampering with. A bit absent minded and overly demanding if Luigi but not evil persay as far as we know all the ghost we're trying to kill him and he releases them after that. The dark moon always seemed like a artifact that has existed forever in evershade otherwise why would he had not used that at the hotel.
I billev you you are rite
First of All How Is Luigi Evil He's Not But I Do Believe That E Gadd Is Evil
Now I definitely hate E Gadd now.
Why are you making Professor E Gadd and Luigi look like they're the villains of the Luigi's Mansion series? King Boo is the main antagonist of the series, he's not a good guy, he's a villai, once a villain always a villain.
Exactly like king boo keeps capturing people .also like if king boo ain’t the villain of the storyline then it’s clearly not Egadd since the dark moon was created before Egadd and before king boo existed plus Egadd in game 3 is one the characters we have to end up saving after he gets kidnapped so I highly doubt Egadd is the villain for games 2&3 he might seem a little villainish in game one doing things for money but for games 2&3 he has like no villainy storylines and king boo somehow got free after being captured in game 1 for games2&3 and nobody knows how king boo got free after being captured the first time around
If any of that was true then why there was a portal in Luigi's mansion 2 :dark moon?🤔😱❓💯🐾💎👻
I don't believe you 😅😅😅
Are the 2 white guys the villains, for colonizing the land of the ghosts and imprisoning them in paintings? Gee I don't t know.
Edit: E.gadd is neither good nor evil, everything he does is in pursuit of scientific discovery.
